Fresh water should be available at all times.

- 90g Cockatiel (or similar): provide a minimum 9g of Maintenance Diet per day.
- 150g Sun conure (or similar): provide a minimum 15g of Maintenance Diet per day.
- 300g Galah (or similar): provide a minimum of 30g of Maintenance Diet per day.
These feeding recommendations should be used as a guide only. Be sure to check with your veterinarian for more specific information if your bird has special dietary needs due to a health condition.
